Hope College GPS to Feature Mucca Pazza on Nov. 17

Breadcrumb Navigation

The Hope College Great Performance Series will feature Mucca Pazza on Friday, Nov. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.

Deemed “crazy, fun and eccentric” by “WNYC” and praised for its frenetic visual presence
and “geeky freak-outs,” Mucca Pazza continues performing everything from movements
of Igor Stravinsky to Ennio Morricone themes to funk-rock. Truly a band that is hard
to describe but fun to see, Mucca Pazza has expanded from the Chicago underground
music scene to performing at numerous national music festivals including Lollapalooza,
Lincoln Center’s Out of Doors and the Montreal Jazz Fest.

The 30-odd members take their liberties in best do-it-yourself style, mixing and matching
the brass and reeds and percussive with classical strings, mandolin, accordion and
electric guitar; doing the same with whatever scraps, hats and uniforms they have
left over from school, and topping their onslaught with a brace of free-thinking cheerleaders.

The New York Music Daily has said, “Mucca Pazza are an exceptionally tight, well-rehearsed
unit…played what had to be the most exciting, lavishly intense live show by any band
in New York…”
